1997 Chevy S-10 V6 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 166000 miles

I have a very anouing humm coming from the back of the truck.I believe that it is the pumpkin.I have been calling the junk yards in my area, and i'm told by a few of the Guys that the G80 (posie/limited slip) rear end, (that is called for in my VIN #) can be substituted with the Standard rear end.? I want my four wheel to be four wheel. Will I be able to tell the differance? The Truck also is a GU6, = 3.42 Gears with a 7.625 = ring gear. Are these guys correct in saying that I or the truck won't beable to tell the differance !? $$$ The diff between std. & Pos. Is several hundred dollars.$$$ Al so would this be a good time to look in to disk brakes for the back?
Thanl you in Addvance Garry

In a non posi unit only 1 wheel drives the rear end, the one with the most traction, so you'll end up with 4X3! Don't change the brake type, or you will have abs and other problems. Unless you want to change the master and the abs unit too.
